Crfspi told his interviewer that this rum0ur

votes in the German Chamber; the Prince
has many financial projects to carry; and
it is possible to discuss with serious Inter

iect of Il visit. The French notion of a
solution, however, that the Pope should
have The Trastevere, q strip of territory
and a port, would hardly be admissible.
The Pope might say he was threatened

Spain is greatly disturbed about MorQc-

country-it is az large as Flance and Eng

expected that civil war will arise among
bis heirs. If it does, the French, who
greatly desire the provinces Oh the Alge-
gerian frontier, il not the whole Empire,
will probably march in, and settle all dis
putes either by large annexations or by
establishing q ProtectOrate on the Tunls
plan, the Shereef of vfazan acting. as their
agent. The Spaniards, who, ever since the
expulsion OF the MOors, have looked upon
Morocco as their reversionary estate, are
determined to prevent this, and with this
object are accommodating troops within their
African fortresSes. The dispute NAV. be-
come very serious, not only because the
fate of Morocco is of Importance to Europe,
the Emperor holding one key of the
Mediterranean but because Spain can on

of Central Europe. She may take that
course, being much in earnest, and then
France will be ringed in by hostile States.

THE BAY STREET DEAL.

The City Disposes of the Open Space
Between Bull and Whitaker Streets.
The differences between Wilcox, Gibbs g.
Co. and the executors of the Waldburg es-
tate and the city in regard to the property
on Bay street, between Bull and
Whitaker, were virtually settled last
night Some time ago the guano com
pany and Waldburg executors
offered to compromise by pay
ing the city $4,000 for an extension of
the three lots between Bull and Whitaker
street even with the front of the City Ex-
change so that they could utilize the unoc-
cupied space between Bay street and Fac
tors walk as a building site
The matter was referred to the Street and
Lane Committee, which submitted an
adverse report, but offered to accept S25, 000
Last night the owners of the property sub
mitted another proposition similar to the
first but they asked the city to name an
amount less than S25, 900 and somewhat
nearer that which they offered to give, stat
ing that they would not give the amount
which the city first asked.
The Street and Lane Committee, after
considering the matter, submitted a report
accepting the terms of the compromise at
$4,000, and the report was adopted with
two dissenting voices, Aldermen Bogart and
Duncan. Col. Garrard, who was present
and represented Wilcox, Gibbs & Co., and
r. G. Erwin, Esq, who represented the
executors of the Waldburg estate, stated in
behalf of the parties they represented that
they would accept the terms
and were ready to meet the
Street and Lane Committee to arrange the
details of the transfer of the property, sub
ject to the approval of the Legislature,
which will be petitioned at its next session
to sanction the contract

New Works Added to the Library
Changes in the Reading Room.
Several important changes have recently
been made in the arrangement of the
Georgia Historical Society's library. Two
of the great troubles connected with the
public use Of the library heretofore have
been the deficiency or light and new books
Very little fault can be found in either di-
rection now. The lights have been doubled
and the large hall is now beautifully lighted
And, as for the books, the reader is embar-
raised with riches. The latest works are ar
ranged on large table, and the visitor can
not possibly use more than one at a time
He may be yachtsnan, and he finds the

Every popular subject is accessible at

rior to what has existed heretofore, and the
officers of the society intend to add other
new features and improvements The mem
bership is rapidly increasing and new and
valuable works, the lack of which has been
seen for a long time, are being added. The

THE KNIGHTS NEW LAWS.
Discussing the Secret Circular and the
New Constitution.

DISCUSSING Inc o6CrGG SlFCuittl dA40 1l4O
New Constitution.
The Knights of Labor in Savannah are
busy discussing the secret circular and
pamphlet containing the revisedc institution
of the order and the laws governing the for
nation of national trade assemblies which
have been received here. The constitution
is submitted to the local assemblies for their
approval Some of the changes in 1t are
supposed to be of the highest Importance.
The pamphlet accompanying the circular
contains sixty pages and gives the constitu-
tion in full and the provisions OF the law
governing district assemblies.
The most important changes recommended
are those debalring rumsellers from mem
bership in the order and prohibiting local
assemblies to hold picnics or gatherings
where liquor is sold; abolishing all OF the
ten-minute discussion on labor questions at
assembly meetings, and substituting for
it the rule requiring the holding OF
monthly meeting for the sole discussion of
educational topics; establishing the rule re-
quiring every local assembly to obtain per-
mission of the district assembly be
d nnd restricting st fnp e f freedom S' WITH
which members have hitherto been allowed
to attack higher officers or members of the
General Executive Board.
The formation of national trade districts
will be permitted as heretofore, but those To-
cal assemblies composed exclusively OF one
trade, but attached to district assembly of
mixed nature, must first obtain permission
of the district assembly. They must then
forward the application to the General Sec
rotary, who will lay the matter before all of
the local assemblies of the craft in the coun-
try.
The new constitution was drawn up by a
committee appointed at the Richmond Con-
vention in October. It is sent out for APP
prevail and will be voted upon by the Savan-
nah Knights at their next meeting. Its APP
prevail or rejection must be reported to the
General Secretary not later than June Is.
If on that date the returns from all of the
local assemblies show a majority to be in
favor of its adoption, then ali Off
cial proclamation will be made to that
effect otherwise the old constitution. with
the alterations adopted at the Richmond
convention, willbe submitted as the consti-
tuition of the order. 1t is not known what
way the Savannah assemblies will vote, but
it is understood that they will favor the
changes which lean toward Capitalization
in the government of the order.

TO GET AT THE FACTS.
CHARGES OF LAX QUARANTINE TO
BE INVESTIGATED.

Alderman Reid's Statement to the
Health Officer and the Sanitary Board
The City Council Orders an Investi-
CATION of the Management of the
Quarantine Station.
The City Council last night ordered an
IN Festigation of the quarantine department.
There have been rumors for some time of a
lax enforcement of the Health Boards
regulations, and that people have been
allowed to visit the quarantine station with
out permission from the Health Officer.
Alderman Reid brought the matter to the
attention of Health Officer Mcfarland, and
stated thatit had been reported to him from
several sources that the quarantine station
is run in the interest of the Tow Boat Com
pany and Paulsen & Co., but he declined
then to give the source of his information
AN INVESTIGATION ASKED.
DR.. Mcfarland laid the matter before the
Sanitary Board, and asked for investiga-
tion.
The Sanitary Commission forwarded to
the Clerk Of Colncil copy of DR.. McFar--
lands statement in which he said
That the reports are di-
rect reflection against the integrity
of the executive officer of the quarantine
department, and coming as they do through
an Alderman of the city, should be proven
or disproven. In winding up his statement
DIR. Mcfarland says: II respectfully ask,
as a matter of justice to myself, that the
board take immediate steps to force this
report TO a court of inquiry. / am not con
tent to let the matter rest where it now is"
ACTION OF THE SANITARY BOARD.
The Sanitary Board ordered the Mayor to
order an investigation of the charges, and,
upon motion of Alderman Duncan, a com
mittee of investigation was appointed The
committee, of which the Mayor is chair
man, consists of Aldermen Duncan,
Haines and Nichols,
Alderman Reid stated to the Council that
he understands from various sources that
the quarantine regulations are not strictly
enforced, that tug boats have upon several
occasions visited the quarantine grounds,
and that they have been tied up at the
wharves there.
COME AND GO FROM QUARANTINE.
He had also been told that stevedores are
in the habit of visiting the station, and have
several times boarded vessels while at quar-
antine, and that parties come and go from
the island without restraint. He had heard,
he said, that stevedores have taken supplies
to vessels at quarantine. fragrant violations
of the law like these Alderman Reid felt it his
duty to report at once to the Health Officer,
and he did so. He has the names of the
parties, he stated, from whom he learned
the condition of affairs, and he has sub
united them TO the Sanitary Board.
The Mayor will at once begin a thorough
investigation of the charges to get at, if
possible, the true condition of affairs.

4 &tMEoxonn Wells Tells the Council
hing About 1.-THE Artesian
~ City Council spent considerable of its
session last night discussing the Bay street
deal. There was some chatting when Al
dernan Wells was granted leave of alb
sence, and some of the members wanted the
Alderman to make them a speech.
Alderman Haines suggested that the
council be told something about the water
supply. Mr.. Wells, who is chairman of the
Water Committee, said that although the
pressure just now is not as strong as it has
been, it is stronger than it was a few DAYS
ago, and is improving every day.
y The department, he said, is doing its best
10 furnish the city an ample water supply
! 1T is impracticable, he explained, to keep
up as strong a pressure as was
fear Of breaking down the pumping ma
chinery. The capacity of the pumps will be
increased as soon as the new pump endsn
arrive and can be put in position The city
viii then have supply of 7,500, 900 gallons,
whereas it now has only 5000, 900 gallons.)
There was some trouble at Monday nights
fire, but the Alderman said that he believed
the cause of it is pretty well understood.
There was forty -flve-pound pressure on at
the water works when the fire started and
it was increased to over fifty pounds as soon
as the engineer received the report that
a fire was in progress Alderman Wells has
full faith in the arteSian well system, and
he says that the city will have all the water
it wants-aud pure water, too-in very
short time.

The Mason CYLINDER COTTON Gin

The new process of ginning cotton by the
Mason cylinder as a substitute for the dan
gerous saws, is attracting considerable at
tention among farmers all over the South.
Two sub-companies are manufacturing the
gins for the market this fall one at Charles
ton, S. c., and the other at Memphis, Tenn.
The gin is sold as cheaply as any first-clasSs
gin in the market, and its peculiar fitness
for ginning the Allen and other long staple
cottons has been fully recognized
